Once a year every April, we select a cohort of students from around the world who are academic rockstars, both nationally and internationally, with a demonstrated track record of leadership, impact, character, and service, and who are still seeking higher education options due to financial barriers. Our students are phenomenal; many have landed on Ivy League waitlists.

​​

Each year, we guide these students to our university partners who have committed to investing in this talent by removing financial barriers and offering full scholarships.

​​

For our higher education partners, it's a guaranteed way to enroll and yield academic superstars, while building your international profile in new markets.

​​

Our students have a 100% graduation rate and typically have a big impact on campus. As Dakota State University said, “These students have transformed our campus. Send us more!” 

​​

One of our students, Nhial Deng, won the Chegg Global Student Prize and was featured on national television in Canada. Another student, Sana Nawabi, came from a war zone in Afghanistan and won an innovation bootcamp and pitch competition. 

​​

We partner with higher education institutions that want to build a talented, diverse, global student body, and increase visibility in new markets, especially universities that offer competitive STEM programs.

​

If this sounds like you, and if your institution is willing and able to offer one or more full (tuition and accommodation) scholarships, then Second Chance might be for you.

​

If your institution has never offered international students a full scholarship before, Second Chance can help you develop this capability and make sure that your scholarship dollars are going to the most deserving students from underrepresented regions around the world.
